Working hard. Working smart. Having Fun.
Strategic & Intentional Storytelling
Excite. Educate. Engage. Let's make things happen - together.
What's Our Story?
As a professional storyteller, chief communicator and overall synergist, I help small businesses and non-profits discover, craft and tell their own story. I'm not a consultant as much as i am a counselor and partner with my clients - that's where the synergy comes in. We make things happen together.
Telling that cool story
A simple press release used to work. Times have changed. Ludicrous speed is the norm, and the box was recyled a while ago (if you still have it, we need to talk). Ideation through fun, creative, sometimes disruptive, approaches that uses all sorts of tools - from social media to media relations to marketing campaigns - is how we get things done.
Those who have allowed us to help tell their story
They include small businesses, non-profits, churches, and newly established businesss. By being adatptable, and a quick study, I am able to absorb and learn across various disciplines, industries and causes. It's this diversity that makes my job fun.
